The mission of this conference is to identify the challenges and the collaborative work being done within the aerospace community in improving the safety, airworthiness, availability, and cost effectiveness of both our military and commercial aircraft fleets. The battle of maintaining an aging fleet with the numerous resource and engineering challenges is a primary focus.
Individuals, industry, and aircraft certification authorities will come together to focus on existing and future certification strategies and methods, as well as ensuring existing aircraft are maintained and flown in an airworthy condition, throughout the life of the aircraft. Attendees from across the globe bring diverse perspectives of airworthiness, airworthiness certification, and airworthiness sustainment. Topics often include Airworthiness Standards, Fleet Management, Nondestructive Inspection, and Digital Twin/Digital Thread. The ultimate goal of the Aircraft Airworthiness and Sustainment Conference is to enhance aircraft certification knowledge and processes, resulting in the uncompromised safety of aircraft around the world.
